Ok thanks. That just seems like the easiest fix to my rims barely not clearing my calipers in the front. Or waiting till my brakes wear down a little. Would just grind down where they rub enough to make them clear, but then I need to find a grinder, get a special wheel, and find some parafin wax or bolube or whatever the heck else they use to make grinding aluminum less than impossible.

I got under the hood done over the weekend. We will start working on the inside Wednesday night and will do the outside on Friday.

Cross your fingers on the weather for Friday KDKA said cloudy but didn't say anything about rain.
